1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - SWASH PLATE SYSTEM

Valeo TMX is a 10 cylinders swash plate type compressors. The cylinders and pistons are arranged axially along the drive shaft. The pistons operate within the cylinders and are driven by a swash plate to perform suction, compression and discharge.

Swash plate system

The drive shaft, which is driven by the engine through the magnetic clutch, is equipped with a swash plate. The drive shaft is supported by two radial bearings and two thrust bearings. The swash plate is rotated by the drive shaft, and moves the pistons back and forth.

The pistons in the cylinders are mounted on the swash plate through hemispherical shoes. Each piston has a compression head at each end. The rotation of the swash plate results in a reciprocating piston movement parallel to the drive shaft. The cylinders, which are arranged at 72° intervals around the drive shaft, are each divided into 2 chambers providing 5 front and 5 rear bores. As each piston performs suction and compression at either end, the compressor operates as a 10 cylinder compressor.

Maintenance precautions

Working Area

As the components of air conditioners are particularly sensitive to moisture, dirt and rust, always observe the following:● Work indoors whenever possible.● Select a flat ground work area.● Keep the work area clean.● Select a work area with adequate ventilation.

● Keep open flame and inflammables away from the vehicle in which the air conditioner is being installed. (Fire is particularly dangerous during the gas leak inspection following installation).

CAUTION!Refrigerant itself is not harmful but excessive accumulation in a closed area can cause oxygen deficiency.

WARNING!Contact with flame and high temperatures can generate toxic gases.

3 - HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Refrigerant handling

1.Do not misidentify refrigerantsIf an HFC-134a (or HFO-1234yf) air conditioning system is mistakenly charged with another refrigerant, serious problems such as compressor seizure may occur. Therefore, confirm before charging with refrigerant that the type of air conditioning system is an HFC-134a (or HFO-1234yf) system.

2.Do not release refrigerant into the airAlthough HFC-134a (or HFO-1234yf) is not subject to CFC regulations, it can have effect on global warming and so should not be released into the air. When removing refrigerant from the air conditioner system, always use a refrigerant recovery unit made especially for HFC-134a (or HFO-1234yf).

Compressor handling

Do not strike or unnecessarily turn the compressor upside down. If the compressor is knocked over or turned upside down during handling or installation, rotate the armature plate 5 or 6 times by hand to circulate the oil. Otherwise, oil in the cylinder during compressor start-up will cause valve damage and reduce durability.

WARNING!Direct contact with refrigerant can cause frostbite or blindness.Always wear safety glasses and protective gloves.Do not work with refrigerant close to your face.

3 - HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Oil quantity inspection

There is no particular need for frequent inspection or replacement of compressor, although it is recommended to check operating refrigerant pressure and oil level at the start of the season. Please replace the refrigerant and restore the system oil, refrigerant charge to factory specifications if:● The AC system is opened for repair or

replacement of any component (e.g. evaporator, condenser or receiver drier)

● Any loss of charge - refrigerant or oil - is detected.

Handling precautions

1. The oil must be free from dust, metal filings, etc.2. Do not mix oils.3. The moisture content must not exceed 1,000

ppm.4. The oil easily absorbs moisture when the

container is open. Therefore always seal the container immediately after use.

Oil contamination

Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the compressor oil. Even if the compressor is run for a long period (approximately 1 season), the oil never becomes turbid as long as there is nothing wrong with the compressor or its method of use. Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following. ● Increased opacity of the oil. ● Color change to red. ● Presence of foreign matter, metal filings, etc.

Oil specification

Use only VC100YF PAG OIL Customer can order Valeo service oil package➝ Part number: T428727 (1 CASE = 6 x 250 cc can)

WARNING!When system (oil) contamination is found during compressor replacement, flush the A/C system with a fluid that meets SAE J2670 and replace the dryer (or accumulator).

Do not mix with other oils !

Cap the container immediately
